New jobs

Tomorrow's city economies - where will the new jobs come from? 

The UK economy will look very different after this recession. But where will economic recovery come from? The city economies of the future, and their contributions to the national and global economies will in all likelihood be characterised by a greater number of innovation-led, creatively focused and green jobs.   What underlying infrastructure will be required to transform our economy and skills to deliver competitive advantage and differentiation for the UK to ensure a sustainable future for all of our cities and beyond?

What can the government, cities and businesses do to deliver the infrastructure that will successfully underpin the new city economies, promote growth sectors and re-skill urban workforces so they're ready for the upturn?
